Check to see if you have the recalled products in your home

Hong Kong – Not to consume an imported chocolate product with possible contamination with Salmonella

Posted on April 20, 2022 by KSW | Leave a comment

CFS

Issue Date	19.4.2022
Source of Information	Notification from the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed of the European Commission
Food Product	Chocolate product
Product Name and Description	Product name: Kinder Happy Moments Mini Mix 162g Brand: Kinder Place of origin: Belgium Net weight: 162 grams per pack Best-before dates: July 7, 2022, and July 8, 2022
Reason For Issuing Alert	The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) received a notification from the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed of the European Commission that the above-mentioned batches of a chocolate product are suspected to be contaminated with Salmonella and have been imported into Hong Kong. Subsequent to earlier announcements that some imported chocolate products might have been contaminated with Salmonella, a pathogen, follow-up investigations showed another affected product has been imported to Hong Kong for export to the Mainland. The product was not put on sale in Hong Kong. Salmonella infection may cause fever and gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. The effects on infants, young children, the elderly and persons with a weak immune system could be more severe and may even lead to death.
Action Taken by the Centre for Food Safety	Upon learning of the incident, the CFS immediately contacted local importers for follow-up. The CFS’s follow up investigations found that an importer, Hongkong Ehigo E.commerce Co Ltd, had imported the affected batches of the product for export to the Mainland. All the products are stored inside a warehouse after import and they have not entered the local market. The CFS has inspected the warehouse and marked and sealed the product concerned. The operator was also instructed to dispose of all the product concerned and the CFS has notified the Mainland authorities concerned of the incident. The CFS has stepped up testing of related products as well as alerting the trade to the incident, and will continue to follow up, closely liaise with overseas authorities and take appropriate action. Investigation is ongoing.
Advice to the Trade	The trade should stop using or selling the affected products immediately if they possess them.
Advice to Consumers	Do not consume the affected product.
Further Information	The CFS press release The latest information on the affected products can be found at the CFS’s Food Incident Post webpage: http://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/rc/subject/fi_list.html

UPC Code	6-81131-22105-4
